WIP: Work in progress. WIP it up Wednesday is a hop where writers share portions of the project they're working on with readers. I really like the idea because it allows me to share something that's still in the creative stage as well as work behind the scenes as a prompt to keep me writing. Unfortunately, I don't have anything ready to share, yet. So, today I've decided to post from my first spanking novel "Arrested by Love." And, if you sign up for my newsletter, you can get a copy of the book for free.
(P.S.: You can get it free anyway, but this way you get two for one at no cost to you.)
In Arrested by Love, Kyle and Tiffany have been having problems, but they are attempting a reconciliation after Kyle basically kidnapped her from her home, with her father's grudging approval, and drove her to see a doctor. Tiffany had become very ill during their separation and Kyle is determined to take care of her in every way she needs. Though Tiffany isn't a true submissive, she is trying to smooth things over with Kyle, so she's working hard to keep her bratty tendencies at bay. However, there's only so much a girl can do, and after reminding her she might be pregnant, Kyle makes things worse by threatening her with a spanking if she doesn't behave more responsibly. Her pride wounded by the suspicion she doesn't matter as much as the possible fetus in her womb, Tiffany launches herself at him and begins hitting and slapping. Struggling to keep his temper in check, Kyle gives her the spanking he promised then puts her back in her chair. Humiliated and furious, Tiffany runs into their bedroom, slams the door and locks it. Kyle gives her a few minutes to calm down before he convinces her that locking him out isn't going to solve anything.
She'd
stopped crying, or at least sobbing, so
he opened the door slowly in case she chose to lob something at him. She
was seated on the bed, glaring at him, but her lower lip trembled, which meant there
was a bit of apprehension behind all that
righteous anger.
He
stepped into the room and shut the door. She didn't try to back away, so he moved closer.
"What
are you going to do?" she asked, more than a little nervously.
"For
the moment, I intend to sit beside you, pull you onto my lap, and give you some
hugs and kisses. Would you like that?"
She
nodded, but the tears started again.
So, he sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. "I'm
sorry," she wailed again.
"Shh,
sweetie. It's all right, and it's over. I'm not sure why you wanted me to spank
you, but you clearly needed me
to take a firm stand, so I
did."
"What
makes you think I wanted a spanking?" she asked with a sniff.
"Because
you didn't back down when I
warned you to."
"I
was angry with you."
"I
know you were. But, whether you know it or not, when you start to get bratty
and sass me, you are demanding I put you over my knee."

Great snippet Kathryn, I can understand Tiffany being upset at the thought she didn't matter as much as the potential baby, though I am positive that wasn't Kyle's intention. I love his point at the end. Worth remembering for Tiffany! lol
